Burn Ban Lifted for St. Landry Parish
ST. LANDRY PARISH – St. Landry Parish Government announces that the parishwide burn
ban issued on February 13, 2026, has been lifted effective immediately.
The burn ban was originally put in place due to dry conditions and elevated fire risk across the
parish. After continued monitoring of weather patterns and drought conditions in coordination
with the National Weather Service, officials have determined that conditions have improved
enough to safely lift the restriction.
Parish President Jessie Bellard thanked residents for their cooperation during the burn ban
period.
“We appreciate the public’s cooperation in following the burn ban while conditions
were dry and dangerous. Protecting lives, property, and our first responders is
always our priority.”
Residents are still encouraged to exercise caution when conducting any outdoor burning and to
remain aware of local conditions.
St. Landry Parish Government will continue to monitor weather and drought conditions and will
provide updates if circumstances change.
Residents can stay informed through official St. Landry Parish Government communication
channels for future updates.
